I went there recently for the waygu 7 plus score steak they have on their menu. I was fairly disappointed with what I ordered. It was quite chewy and rare enough to see there wasnt any marbling as would be expected. I have had waygu steak in japan before this and was expecting something similar here. I would not buy wagyu steak from this restaurant at $35 per 100 grams unless they are prepared to show you the marbling in the steak prior to cooking and compare that marbling against the marble score in the Australian standards. Also you cant just buy from them a waygu piece of steak in say 200 grams, well for me the smallest size available at the time was a 400 gram piece, it ended up being a very expensive and unsatisfying dinner. I'm not sure what their other steaks are like, I know the service there is excellent, but dont buy wagyu until you check it has the marbling that its advertised it has.
